To ciZZ Iwhom it may concern Be it known that l, Bonner lil. Drinnen, acitinen oli the United States, residing at St. Louis, State ofMissouri., have invented new and useful improvements in Pipes? of whichthe following is a specification.

The present invention relates to lthe class oft pipes and the provisionol a device of this character comprising a removable, reversible bowl.The advantages derived from a device such as this are readily educed. ltallows the same to be smoked almost continuously without lighting ateach filling, and provides a pipe 'which may be readily cleaned and thuslrept in a sanitary condition. lt is apparent that a device ot thisnature is especially adapted for use in automobiling or boating, howeverother purposes will be recognized as the description continues.

1Wit-h the above and other objects in view my invention relates to suchdetails of construction and in the arrangement and combination of partsas will be hereinafter fully described and specifically pointed out inthe appended claim.

ln describing my invention in detail, reiterence will be had to theaccompanying drawings wherein like characters denote lilre orcorresponding parts throughout the several views and in which- Figure lis a vertical sectional view o the bodyl of the device showing the stemand mouth piece in elevation. Q, is a view similar to Fig. 1illustrating the bowl of the pipe removed. lhig. 3 is a sectional viewof the bowl oli the pipe. Fig. 4 is a detail view of a plug which isused.

Referring now more particularly 'to the drawings wherein is shown thepreferred embodiment olf .my invention the numeral 10 designates thebody portion thereof which as is shown is substantially semi-spherical.'lhe body portion may be constructed of any suitable material, eitherwood, bone or metal7 but in actual practice aluminum has proven veryefficient. Formed upon the upper level face of the body portion is anupstanding projection 12, the sides 13 of the saine being cut slantingtoward the base, as clearly illustrated. li/lfhile the projection may beformed integral .with the body portion as illustrated in the drawings itmay also be secured thereto by any suitable means. lhe body portion andprojection are further provided with a vertically extending opening ll.through Specification of Letters Patent. JlPgmpp-,Him JMH@ f5, 1914'which the smollre i'rom the bowl travels when the same is in use.

onsistent with the foregoing remarks l have provided an improved form ofbowl, consisting of a body portion lll, the interior bore thereof beingbeveled at its extremities as shown at l5 lf'or providing suit-able camfaces :tor jt'rictional engagement with the slanting iace 13 of theprojection l2. It is recognized that both ends of the bowl areconstructed in exactly the same manner, thus allowing the saine to bereversed when it is desired, and when in place held in secure trictionalengagement with the body portion of the device.

For the purpose of receiving a quantity of packing material 1T, such forinstance as cottoiu the body portion l() is provided with a recess lethe latter beingndisposed eentrally therein and communicating with oneside thereof as is shown. nl stem 18 has connection with the bodyportion, and extends into a portion ol the recess 1G, so that its innerface engages the packing material and form a. comparatively tight joint.The stem also has a longitudinally extending smoke way 18 formed thereinthrough which the smoke from the bowl of the pipe travels. The mouthpiece 19 is further provided which is preferably iormed of amber or hardrubber, the latter also having a smoke way 19 formed ltherein and an eX-terior screw threaded extension Q0 in engagement with the stom. liliththis arrangement a pipe provided which is comparatively light, and inview of the fact that the parts are very simple, it may be manufacturedand placed upon the market at a minimum cost.

l have provided a member 2l carrying a wedgeeshaped extension the latterbeing received into the lower end of the opening ll for normally closingthe same. By proriding this removable plug it is recognized that thecleaning oit the pipe is :facilitated to an appreciable degree.

lhe reversibility ot the bowl is readily recognized. The tobacco isdisposed in the same in the `usual manner, and after it has been smokednearly out new tobacco may be disposed on top of this and the bowlreversed, thus continuously providing a `fresh smoke without lightingthe pipe at each lilling. rllhis function makes the pipe veryadvantageous for the uses set it'orth and in view of the fact that itscleaning is facilitated, it can always be kept in a sanitary condition.

From the foregoing it is thought that the advantages and novel featuresof my invention will be readily recognized.

Having. thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent is:

A tobacco pipe comprising a body portion having an annular projectionformed upon the upper surface thereof, the sides of said projectionbeing beveled, said body portion and said projection having a centrallydisposed vertically extending passage way therethrough, a plug insertedin the lower end of said passage way, said body portion further providedwith an inwardly trans- ROBERT H.
